There are SO many different relationship models that exist, yet we are only taught about a few. If you had a chance to create your ideal relationship what would it look like? What does fidelity feel like? How do you define commitment? What are your deal breakers? What do you need to feel loved, affirmed, secured, and valued? How do you want to handle disagreements? During this workshop we will learn about various relationship models, explore on our past and current relationships, and determine ways to build our ideal relationships.

Social media, structural oppression, and busy lives, are just some of the things that send us daily messages that we are not beautiful, worthy, or lovable. It’s important for us to intentionally unpack these negative and false messages so that we can have a healthy relationship with ourselves and others. Daily practices of self love are a way to remind ourselves that we are more than what society tells us. What are the thoughts that you have about yourself? Where are those thoughts coming from? How can you reject unhelpful thoughts and replace them with ones that empower you? In this workshop we will discuss the importance of romancing yourself and accepting and loving your mind, body, and soul just as it is today. We will:

Learn how thoughts about yourself guide the way that you tend to behave and treat yourself

Discuss what the best you looks like and the qualities you would like to improve

Create a personalized Self Love Care Plan that will help you practice self love daily

Is oral sex still a taboo topic? In music and other forms of media, maybe not. After all, there is a popular song demanding that you "eat it like groceries." But what are everyday people talking about and doing in their sex lives? In this workshop we will:

Oppressive structures and stereotypes about the Black body and sexuality have limited and negatively impacted Black people and their sexual agency. For some Black people, sexual autonomy, pleasure, and discovery are foreign, unmentionable, and rejected. This is evident as one observes the Black female experience with masturbation and the Black male’s relationship with anal play. As current sex education models focus either on abstinence or sexual health, learners are not empowered to have sexual agency. Pleasure based sex education models provide accurate information about sexuality, sexual acts, and body positivity; and increase sexual self-agency. This panel will explore Black sexual empowerment through discussing masturbation, anal play, and pleasured based models.

It is imperative for sex educators to be knowledgeable and prepared to address how race impacts sexuality with Black clients.

Come learn strategies and innovative ways to address Black clients and their sexual experiences and exploration.
